After sitting for years on the shelf, I finally built up the courage, (and spare parts), to attack this project. Build pics in WIP section.

COMPLETED! Thank you to all who looked in and commented!

Thanks Andria for the complements. When your trying to build 'stock', it's not always possible to locate to correct 'exact' part. Especially an 'orphan car' like this! In my '52 Nash Rambler sedan delivery I built and posted, a couple of years ago, I just slipped in a Dodge 225, dual carb, slant six. That was too easy!

Oh yea. And I hope so was Greg when he stated the motor I 'should have'.

Thanks Greg, Let me know when you find one. I looked at many 1/24-1/25 scale 4 cylinder engines and I tried to make my little Nash engine come relatively close. Anybody have a 1:24 / 1:25 scale, 44ci, COBRA engine in their stash of spare parts?

Moving on. Paint, 'Chrome' pieces, BMF trim, and details. Getting there!

Moving ahead. Cleaning up the body and fitting an engine to the crude chassis. Engine and wheels/tires are from a damaged 'Franklin Mint' Nash Metropolitan I purchased from Ebay. Thanks for looking.

Thank you!

Thanks James!

Thanks David!

Thanks Steve. Yea, I thought the tires looked a bit 'chubby' for the time frame, but I was on a schedule so I used them. Glad you like it.

Just finished this build for an older friend of mine who is celebrating his 89th birthday. Retired Navy Veteran. MPC, 1/25 scale. Stock except for Navy decals found on Ebay. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the info Barry. Interesting article!

Greetings All, Picked up this piece from R&R Vacuum Craft quite a few years ago. Didn't have the nerve, (desire?), to start it. Been collecting parts and searching for reference photos and info on the real car. Started to clean up the body and reworking the crude chassis to make it fit! (Oh... the joys of working with resin!) Found some wheels and tires that I believe should be close to scale. I really want to make it stock. Sorry 'hot rodders', that's just the way I am. Stay tuned.....
